  - Leodis community mapping: Engaging students, teachers and schools in Leeds to develop research and community resilience by mapping cultural history and developing resources for the humanities (project still does not have a name yet - Domesday Leeds?)
    - Further email exchange with Sara Bordoley
    - To link here use the following URL

    - N.B. There is current interest in reviving the BBC Domesday project from 1984 that my retired colleague Stan Openshaw was involved in.
    - Another colleague that is likely to be interested in this is Nichola Wood (http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/n.wood).
    - Once there is a project name, I will probably start and link in a project web page to encourage its development.
      - In the meantime I will link back to previous meeting like this:
